Students will be in their seats when the bell rings, and will be dismissed by the teacher when the room is clean and their kitchens have been checked.

Be polite and respectful. Raise your hand whenever you wish to speak. Put downs, sarcasm, or inappropriate language is not polite behavior.

Do not disturb your classmates. Grooming, interruptions, electronic devices, gum chewing, and smelly lotions or fragrances are not permitted.

No outside food allowed in class-no exceptions. Water and other drinks will be allowed in class.

Be prepared with the appropriate materials. Once the bell rings you will not be allowed to return to your locker to retrieve forgotten items.

No sitting on the tables or counter-tops.

No students are allowed in the lab pantry, refrigerators, or in another group’s kitchen.

Lab equipment and appliances are for use during cooking only. Using or playing with the equipment will not be permitted.

Hair shall be restrained each day before you enter the classroom and until you leave the classroom.

TARDINESS AND ABSENCE

Tardiness is disruptive and interrupts the progress of the other students. Students not properly seated and ready to begin class at the scheduled time will be marked tardy. Tardiness will be dealt with in accordance with school policy as specified in the student handbook. Students will have 5 points deducted from each cooking lab that they are late.

If a student is absent, it is the student’s responsibility to check for assignments, notes, class work, recipes, and make up work missed. In the case of an extended absence, the student should arrange for a reasonable due date and alternate assignment.

Absent work assignments can be found on the teacher site. Please check the class calendar from that site to see what makeup work is necessary for that missed day(s)

I look forward to an exciting, fun, creative year of cooking!

Absent work assignments can be obtained from the instructor’s calendar on Google calendars and should be emailed, using your school Google account, back to the instructor for credit. Students are responsible for taking care of all make-up assignments. This means finding out what was missed, when it is due, etc.

DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL CULINARY ARTS DEPARTMENT

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The new Culinary Arts classes will be pleased to provide your student with a high quality program that is based primarily on cooking laboratory experience. We will be constantly incorporating many new and exciting cooking techniques and activities into the program. We will always be committed to providing quality food products for laboratory use.

Unfortunately, it will be difficult for us to provide the quantity of supplies needed, as theprogram laboratory supplies (food) budget has been impacted by the lack of state funding. All of the money collected from parents will be used for the purpose of purchasing food for use in the food laboratory. We are no longer allowed to impose these fees, in past years families have typically donated $50.00 per year (or more if you feel able to do so) toward support of your student’s Culinary Arts experience.

Beyond our financial needs, we welcome and depend upon other kinds of support such as parental volunteer participation, location of low or no cost supplies, donation of equipment and any other assistance that would help us to maintain a quality program. If you are interested in more information, please contact a culinary instructor.

YES! I WANT TO SUPPORT THE DUBLIN HIGH SCHOOL CULINARY ARTS DEPARTMENT!

Our need for the suggested $50.00 per year laboratory donation is critical. We are appreciative of whatever amount you feel you can contribute.

Please make a check payable to Dublin High School Culinary Arts. All donations that are collected will be deposited into the culinary account in Student Activities. During the course of the semester food purchases will derive from this account. This will insure that all money collected will be used for your son/daughters culinary experience.

_____I would like to make a lump-sum donation of $ ____________.

_____I would like to make the suggested full year donation of $50 now.
